As Deon reported, the user space stuff seems to work nice nowadays.
Good. Last time I tried that it had holes like the best swiss cheese
and reliability was way off. But that might been long ago, as in RH <
7.3. Time flies (*).

Nice to hear.

OS does not really matter that much to me. They are all broken in
their own way ;-) I don't have a very high barrier in swicthing OS:es.
In some situations that is easier than finding out why a particular
setup just won't work. 

And admining Solaris is really not that hard, you should try it some
time ;-) ;-)
